Imbolc Ceremony

Join me in ceremony as we weave into the power of this Ancient Fire Festival, Imbolc. Through this sacred seasonal portal, we call forth the hidden potential within the earth and give thanks to the life-force stirring within the land.

Imbolc brings an opportunity to align with the energy of the Sun, the Earth, and the Goddess, Brigid.

Its a time to weave rushes, dream deep into the earth, gather with sisters, burn evergreens, sow seeds of intention, feast with community and give gratitude.

In modern day society, February would usually pass without much regard. However when we attune to the Celtic Wheel of the Year, February is potent with stirrings of new life as we witness the growth of the returning light and the first signs of emergence of spring.

This ancient pagan fire festival marks the halfway point between Winter Solstice & Spring Equinox. It signifies a time to connect with our Ancestors, who after the long dark days in the depth of winter would find hope in the comings of life.

In this ceremony you will be invited to let go of the past and to look to the future, clearing out the old and making both outer and inner space for new beginnings as we prepare for spring!

Please note that my sacred weavings hold space for the full spectrum human experience. We will be invited to linger in calm pockets of stillness & softness whilst also compassionately tending to the wilder, raw and primal landscapes that live within. Inviting all to be brought forth without judgements to be seen, held, expressed and witnessed. Some emotional releases may be triggering & will be held with the deepest compassion.

Drumming Contraindications:

Drum circles are not a substitute for medical consultation for physical, mental and psychological illnesses, but it is a powerful natural complementary form of healing as well as a space for social interaction. It is not a therapy group and should not be seen by participants as such.

Like any form of sound work it may not be suitable for everyone as it involves some loud noise and repetitive beats.

Those with Tinnitus and Menieres disease may find that the use of ear plugs helps them join a drum circle without over stimulating the ears.

Those with epilepsy and those otherwise affected by repetitive sound should consider their triggers and make the session leader aware of any needs they may have.

It is particularly contraindicated for those suffering from active schizophrenia, PTSD and other reality perception altering illnesses as repetitive drumming can change the brain waves and induce trance like states.

Those in the early stages of pregnancy or those who have suffered recurrent miscarriage, and are currently pregnant, should take medical advice before joining a drum circle.

Along with the effects of sound the active sharing space may trigger some people with past trauma. It is to be noted that the Sacred Women’s Drum Circle Facilitators do not take on the role of a therapist in the gathering and should not be treated as such. They may need to intervene and invite participants to seek alternative or additional support.
